Classified documents submitted to the US Congress include an assessment by the US intelligence community that Saudi Arabia has not ruled out the possibility of developing a nuclear weapons program, according to US officials who spoke to The Washington Post. Saudi Arabia did not respond to questions on the matter from the Post but shared a previous statement by its Energy Minister, Abdulaziz bin Salman, who said the program would be carried out 'in peaceful ways' and developed with 'the highest responsibility and transparency.'
